Climate protestors block traffic in central Warsaw, Poland by Neil Milton / SOPA Images
A group of activists from Ostatnie Pokolenie (the Last Generation) blocked Prosta street. The action is one of many designed to advocate for cheaper and wider public transport options. The group are demanding that the government shifts 100% of the money allocated for new expressways to regional public transport, and introduces a low-cost, 50PLN ticket for public transport throughout Poland. The series of road blocks take place on the week that Polish students return to school. "People must demand change" they state, "otherwise the government will continue to disregard our basic safety."
